Always wondered which came first; the Dunce hat or the KKK hood.

No, there's been quite a few now. Racist, mocking, socially damaging. It's clear the company is led by a clueless board.

In shell
Drawing pictures
Of fence tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Eyestalks raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of pale blue below

Scientists tried to give attention
To the fact that his shell turned left
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world, but

Jeremy didn't get laid today
Jeremy didn't get laid today

Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little mollusc
Oh, but we unleashed a hedgehog
Gnashed his radula
Shot darts at mantles
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise bump
My shell left hurtin'
Oh, tipped right over
Just like the day
Like the day I heard

Scientists tried to give affection
But the boy was something the others wouldn't mate
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy didn't get laid today
Jeremy didn't get laid today
Jeremy didn't get laid today

Try to forget this... (try to forget this)
Try to erase this... (try to erase this)
From the postdoc paper

Jeremy didn't get laid today
Jeremy didn't get laid today

They pump insulin.

They're inconvenient, but much better than a few years ago. Having an app for the monitor now is a game-changer to avoid people hearing a self-destruct countdown beep under your shirt. But one of my friends actually still prefers shots three times a day, You just kind of get used to that if it's all you've ever known, so for some people it's not as big a deal as others make it out to be.

So with that out of the way, you may have replied to a comment mentioning insulin pumps, but what do they have to do with the post, anymore than the doll's hair colour?

Geez. I wonder why they didn't include all the other ones...

Computer Engineer Barbie of 2010 was great. It included a backstory of accidentally getting a virus on her sister's computer as Barbie admits she knows nothing about computers, is just a designer, and relies on boys at her school to help. Of course the laptop was pink.

There's so, so, so many of these all the way up to now... Oreo Barbie, the Doll's of the World collection, the sleepover ones that have apparel that says "Don't Eat" on it.

If it's not clear now, Mattel relies on making Barbies that will make money at the time. So girls can be happy other girls manufactured dolls for them in factories in a country known as "Oriental". This is the point of the post.

All you've done is link their public-facing marketing material which implies it works.

Should just make up that Biden's name was apparently on it. MAGAs will scream to see the list again.

I would hope for some of you, this is the first time seeing the C&H Mothman clips.

 

I was thinking about it. I donate to quite a few charities, but they specifically mean something to me. Others I don't really think about, though they're good. I guess we all have a threshold or we'd be broke and for many that could be no donations at all or just a fiver the the street guy.
